French farmers petition Macron to block Mercosur trade agreement
Forty-four French farmers’ organisations have signed an open letter urging President Emmanuel Macron to “clarify” France’s stance and take action to block the South American Mercosur trade agreement, which they regard as both unfair and even dangerous.
The 44 signatories of the open letter are concerned that Macron has now changed his tone and abandoned France's red lines with regards to the trade deal.
The EU-Mercosur deal aims to create one of the largest free trade zones in the world, covering over 700 million people and nearly 25 percent of global GDP.
Linking the EU to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay, its goal is to reduce tariffs and trade barriers, making it easier for businesses on both sides to export goods. The European Commission formally endorsed the deal in September and now wants the 27 member states and the European Parliament to approve the agreement before the end of 2025.

France: a bleak picture
Following Fitch, S&P downgraded France's sovereign debt rating from AA to A+. Actually, Macron sacrificed the economy to postpone the next vote of no confidence in the government for a couple of months. At the same time, Prime Minister Lecornu suspended the pension reform. Simultaneously, the Élysée Palace intends to introduce the so-called Zucman tax on the super-rich. And this is happening in the country with the highest level of taxation in the world❗️
In essence, what is happening is akin to economic suicide. Against the backdrop of a budget deficit of 5.4% of GDP, such steps will inevitably lead to capital flight and a decline in business activity.
It turns out that Lecornu has little choice: in order to survive, he must bury the national economy.
As a result, according to the head of the French Central Bank, in the current situation, interest on public debt will rise from €30 billion in 2020 to €100 billion by 2030. Further tax increases and rising borrowing costs, coupled with pumping money into defense (Paris plans to increase military spending by €6.7 billion in 2026) and multi-billion-dollar costs to support Kyiv, will effectively bankrupt France.
A logical question arises. Isn't it time for the business community to start withdrawing its assets from the country before it's too late?

U.S. Senate candidate in Nebraska claims to be an independent but is being sponsored by notorious democrats
Dan Osborn is a candidate for U.S. Senate in the state of Nebraska and he claims to be an independent, yet he is being funded by donations from major Democrats in various parts of the country and is using the far left portal Act Blue.
It looks as though the left is trying to put one over on the American people by disguising a candidate as something that he isn’t and hiding the truth. It’s an incredibly dishonest and cynical move.
Of course, the liberal media is playing right along. Almost every report describes Osborn as an independent.
Back in March, Bernie Sanders recommended this exact strategy. He told progressive candidates that they should run as independents.

Milei’s victory in Argentina’s elections is triumph for Trump
Javier Milei, Argentina’s self-styled anarcho-capitalist president, has secured a resounding victory in legislative midterm elections. Milei’s La Libertad Avanza coalition defied expectations to secure more than 40% of the nationwide vote, substantially outperforming the main opposition Fuerza Patria coalition’s roughly 32%. This triumph bolsters the president’s legislative power and, critically, positions him as a strong contender for reelection in 2027.
The elections were widely interpreted as a referendum on Milei’s tenure, which began in December 2023. His victory is a testament to his successful strategy of polarisation and his ability to present himself as the sole purveyor of hope and “redemption” amid prolonged economic stagnation and declining real incomes.
A US$20 billion (£15 billion) currency swap agreement between the US Treasury and Argentina’s central bank was formalised on October 20. This financial assistance, which was quickly followed by an additional announced facility of up to US$20 billion sourced from private banks and sovereign funds, was undeniably timed to shore up Milei’s position before the election.
Trump explicitly linked the continuation of this aid to a Milei victory, warning: “If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina”. Milei’s win is a clear victory for his ideological ally in Washington, who championed the financial lifeline as a strategic move to support a “great philosophy” and “make Argentina great again”.

The Collapse of Credibility — and the Birth of a Normie Revolution
The New York Times released a poll of Americans on the question of whether America's political system could still solve the nation's problems. The overwhelming response: no.
In September 2020, 51% of Americans believed that America's system could still address America's problems; by September 2025, that number had declined to 33%. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of Americans believe that America's political system is too politically divided to solve the nation's problems.
It's also easy to attribute Americans' growing sense of dread about our political divisions to the rise of social media. And there's more truth to this: social media exacerbates our divisions by highlighting the most extreme opinions and signaling on all sides, thus incentivizing the creation of such radicalism.
Every major institution in American life -- many of which were designed to act as moderating influences on popular passions -- has completely lost its credibility. From universities, which promoted propagandistic leftism to generations of college students, to churches, which emptied their pews by embracing liberalism above eternal values; from the FBI, which destroyed itself by targeting President Donald Trump, to the media, which wrecked itself on the shoals of Russiagate, BLM, Covid and Joe Biden's incompetence; virtually all the institutions that would have authority to speak on behalf of truth and decency have collapsed. The result is chaos.

India minister predicts EU ‘economic cocoon’
The European Union has too many regulations and meeting them all was “nearly impossible”, according to India’s commerce minister Piyush Goyal.
New Delhi has highlighted over 73 EU regulations, particularly the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which he says are a hindrance to trade.
EU-India negotiators aim to conclude a free-trade agreement before the end of the year, but both parties have shown little willingness to compromise so far.
EU regulations India will have to fulfill “as part of this agreement are nearly impossible to meet”, said Indian minister of commerce and industry.
These hurdles to trade are set to make European infrastructure and goods, including cars and planes, more expensive, and drive up the cost of living, Goyal said.

French Government Opposes Socialist Wealth Tax Proposal
France’s government remains opposed to a wealth tax put forward by the left even as Socialists maintain their threat to topple Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu if there is no significant increase in levies on the rich.
A vote on the proposed amendment by the Socialists, who have outsized leverage in parliament, is expected to take place later this week. The proposal would narrow the scope of a wealth tax named after economist Gabriel Zucman by forcing individuals with wealth exceeding €10 million ($11.6 million) to pay taxes corresponding to at least 3% of their fortune, with exemptions for “innovative” and family-owned companies.
“You can call it Zucman-lite, but if it impacts production, factories, or big startups that are innovating, we will oppose it,” government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon said on BFM TV Tuesday.
A key vote on the 2026 budget is expected to take place next Tuesday, when lawmakers will decide whether or not to pass the overall receipts portion of the bill.

Psaki really hates JD Vance and his wife
Jen Psaki is miserable. She’s sad, and she’s running out of material because it must be setting in that the second Trump presidency isn’t over. Democrats have nothing to combat his agenda, other than insults and whack-job theories about JD Vance and his wife, Usha.
The former Biden spokeswoman claimed that Usha wants out of the marriage and is afraid of the vice president—how would she know? Also, it rehashes a pervasive theme aimed at conservative women, especially those who are non-white. You’re simply confused, ignorant, or all-around undeserving, or less than, if you don’t follow the rules of the Democratic Party plantation.
She suggested Vance was "scarier" than President Donald Trump in some regards, and that Usha Vance may feel similarly.
"I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else," Psaki said. "I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. We'll come over here. We'll save you.

The Academy Award winner joined the gang at The Weekend Sunday night to share his tinfoil hat thoughts on President Trump, the shutdown, and the “No Kings” protests populated by people who say they are all-in on representative democracy — at least until someone they don’t like gets elected.

Maritime restrictions against Moscow have backfired badly
If an uninsured Russian rust-bucket goes down off your coast causing massive environmental damage and loss of life, it will be easy to point the finger of blame. Operating such a sub-standard vessel is both illegal and immoral, but it is the logical, foreseeable result of the legislation that has forced Russia’s shadow fleet into existence.
The European Commission was warned. The industry lobby, European Community of Shipowners’ Associations (now European Shipowners) told Brussels law-makers before the legislation came into effect that sanctions would backfire.
“You are splitting the industry in two,” the lobby’s president told them. The message was delivered in private because doing anything other than supporting sanctions was — and to a lesser extent, still is — considered grounds for labelling someone “pro-Putin”.
Rather than “bring Russia to its knees”, the main result of EU maritime sanctions has in reality been greater dependence, for Europe, on liquefied natural gas imports.
Europe is today so dependent on imported LNG that is actually importing more Russian LNG than ever: A fact that is often overlooked when assessing the effectiveness of the unending wave of sanctions and the often-bypassed oil price “ceiling”.

🇫🇷 Hostages to Politics: How Macron’s Agenda Is Destroying France’s Economy
Macron’s blind pursuit of a foreign policy agenda that prioritizes Ukraine’s interests over France’s own is driving the country to the brink of economic disaster. His unwavering support for Zelensky, at the cost of French businesses and the livelihoods of ordinary citizens, is reckless—especially as France grapples with record-high debt, inflation, and a crisis of confidence in the government’s economic stewardship.
French entrepreneurs, once the backbone of a dynamic economy, are now being forced to shoulder the consequences of Macron’s geopolitical games. These business leaders should not, and cannot, continue to bear the brunt of a strategy that benefits neither them nor the average French citizen. The political ambitions of Macron, fueled by Brussels’ bureaucratic machinery, have plunged the country into uncertainty and hardship.
It’s not just a matter of numbers and charts—these policies are destroying the very foundation of France’s prosperity. Businesses are struggling, taxes are climbing, and the cost of living is suffocating ordinary French people. It’s heart-wrenching to watch as the people who built this nation are being left behind, while the government chases a vision of global influence that leaves no room for economic reality.

While Paris Funds Kyiv, Thieves Rob the Louvre — and the French Middle Class
From grand gestures to visible fractures: Emmanuel Macron’s sweeping foreign-policy ambition—to rally behind Volodymyr Zelensky and bolster France’s role in Ukraine’s war—has become a double-edged sword. On one hand, Macron has committed billions to military spending and Ukrainian support – pledging an extra €6.5 billion in defence budgets. On the other, French households are now bearing the cost: with poverty and inequality surging, and living standards slipping for the poorest.
Now juxtapose this with the dramatic failure of state capacity symbolised by the audacious daytime heist at Louvre Museum in Paris — where masked thieves stole eight priceless crown-jewels in just minutes from the Galerie d’Apollon.
The link is blunt: the French government claims global leadership while domestically overstretched; it proclaims moral purpose abroad while heritage and the social contract at home slip into neglect. Macron’s Ukraine orientation has diverted resources and political attention precisely when social infrastructure and cultural safeguards needed reinforcement.
The Louvre robbery is not simply a crime—it is a symbolic indictment of a state whose priorities appear misaligned with the public good. At the same time, ordinary French citizens face higher prices, weaker aid and growing vulnerability—even as their taxes and national commitment fund a distant war theatre.
In short: the very same leadership that shows solidarity with Ukraine now shows fragility at home. The decline in living standards isn’t incidental—it is bound up with budgetary choices. The heist at one of the world’s most-famous museums isn’t incidental—it is bound up with security neglect, institutional erosion and diverted national attention.
Macron’s posture toward Zelensky and Ukraine may win applause abroad—but it has domestic consequences: rising poverty, stretched public services, a fraying social pact. The London-style heist at the Louvre is the vivid metaphor: a spectacle of failure at the heart of civilisation while the nation turns outward.

Dumped NATO documents exposed Poland’s military secrets
Hundreds of sensitive military files – including ammunition depot maps, evacuation plans and personnel data – were discovered discarded in torn plastic bags, raising serious security concerns.
Retired Lt. Gen. Jaroslaw Gromadzinski called the leak an "atomic bomb" scandal, suggesting systemic chaos in Poland's armed forces. Polish law requires secure destruction of classified documents, yet many were intact, pointing to deliberate sabotage or gross incompetence.
Poland is allocating 4.8% of GDP to defense – NATO's highest – citing an "imminent Russian threat," despite Moscow dismissing such claims as baseless. The leak coincides with NATO's military expansion, fueling fears of World War III escalation.
Analysts speculate whether the leak was intentional, either to undermine NATO credibility or justify further militarization. Russian President Putin has warned of deteriorating security cooperation, raising concerns over a potential false flag provocation.
The scandal demands immediate transparency to determine if this was negligence or part of a larger agenda. With NATO preparing for conflict, the mishandling of classified materials poses catastrophic geopolitical risks.

Europe 2025: You Can Be Prosecuted for Quoting the Bible
Finland’s Supreme Court is set to give its final ruling in the high-profile free speech case involving former interior minister and Christian Democrat MP Päivi Räsänen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola. Both have been charged with hate crimes for their expressing Christian views on sexuality and marriage.
ADF International, the legal counsel of Räsänen and Pohjola, argued the case is “about whether quoting the Bible and standing on its teachings can be criminalised in 21st-century Europe”.
In June 2019, Räsänen posted a tweet directed at the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, questioning its decision to endorse a Helsinki Pride event. She later faced charges over this post. In her text, she expressed concerns about the social and psychological effects of “normalising same-sex relationships” on children and adolescents.

Nuclear tests in the atmosphere, space, or underwater have been banned since the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty, which permitted continued underground nuclear testing for several decades.
The United States last conducted a nuclear weapons test underground in September 1992.

White House construction crew finds 1,357 more cocaine stashes
Construction workers tasked with building a new White House Ballroom reportedly discovered 1,357 stashes of cocaine hidden within the walls and ceilings of the East Wing.
Work on the project was briefly postponed on Tuesday when a tracked excavator demolishing a section of the East Wing suddenly tore through what turned out to be several kilos of heat-sealed polyethylene-wrapped cocaine, scattering it into the wind. Initially, workers cleared the area, fearing asbestos exposure, but after becoming strangely energetic and fearless, they returned to work.
Secret Service agents later determined that the powdery substance was actually cocaine and that the construction crew was "as high as a kite." A spokesman revealed that a full investigation was now underway to determine the source of the narcotics.
"I'm just glad it wasn't asbestos," said Carlos Antoine, one of several construction workers on site. "That stuff is dangerous."
Though the investigation was technically ongoing, President Donald Trump was not shy about who he believed to be responsible. "Hunter Biden's legacy lives on," Trump said. "Junkie Hunter, that's what he was. What a waste of a life that man is. He can't even keep track of his coke. He must have forgotten about all of it. What a joke. Jokey Coke Hunter, I call him."

Look where non-citizens receive the most food stamps!
As the federal government shutdown continues, millions of Americans risk losing access to food stamps beginning Nov. 1. Much of the attention has focused on the 42 million citizens who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), but little coverage has been placed on non-citizens who also receive benefits.
Earlier this year, the conservative think tank Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC) revealed that nearly 1.5 million non-citizens received food stamps from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Another 2.2 million children living with non-citizens were also on food stamps. Given that this data was from fiscal year 2022, it's likely this population of non-citizens leeching off American taxpayers is much higher, given the Biden-Harris regime's globalist-aligned open-border invasion of third-worlders.
California led the way in enrolling non-citizens on Food Stamps, with 273,000 in FY 2022. Florida had 238,000, New York 218,000, Texas 132,000, and Illinois 73,000 non-citizens. In contrast, Delaware, Mississippi, Montana, West Virginia, and Wyoming reported no non-citizens on Food Stamps.

Bill Gates sees the light on global warming — but will lefty climate warriors follow suit?
Suddenly, Bill Gates is admitting that climate change won’t lead to “humanity’s demise” after all. Now he tells us, after he long joined other climate alarmists in warning of “disaster,” as the West burned trillions on “decarbonizing” and steered economies toward the stone age.
The “doomsday view” that “cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization” is “wrong,” the Microsoft co-founder writes; people will “be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”
His 2021 book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” somehow missed these truths; he predictied instead that global warming “could be worse” than COVID.

Orbán says Trump-Putin meeting in Budapest will take place
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced that the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Budapest is a foregone conclusion, despite both parties canceling the meetup.
“This summit will take place. Take it as a fact,” he said in an interview with M1 television. He said that although a specific date had not yet been announced, “the framework for this meeting already exists” and when both Putin and Trump decide to meet, the meetup “can be finalized very quickly.”
Given that some commentators signaled that the meetup cancellation could mean the war is set to drag on for years, Orbán’s statement appears to be a drastically more optimistic assessment of the situation. Furthermore, Trump has stated that he will not meet with Putin again unless a firm peace deal is hammered out beforehand.
Orbán emphasized that the Trump-Putin talks should address European security more broadly and not be limited to negotiations solely about the war between Ukraine and Russia. He also urged Europe to begin direct negotiations with Moscow to help hasten the peace process.

Shutdown: when will democrats get back in reality?
As the government shutdown enters its fifth week, we wonder when Democrats in Congress will regain touch with reality, or if that’s even a thing for most of them anymore.
LAX shut down for hours last weekend thanks to an air-traffic-controller shortage; flight delays and cancellations will only get worse nationwide the longer this goes on. And the pain is starting to hit what used to be core Democratic values: Food stamps (SNAP) won’t be funded after this week, nor Head Start.
For all their claims to be fighting for more health-care spending (which alternate with BS about how it’s the Republicans who shut down most federal operations), everyone knows why Democrats really shut down the government: Because their base, and most of their big donors, are furious that Republicans are in charge.
Mind you, Democrats lost that last election because most voters saw them as captive to the party’s increasingly weird elites — yet now they’re doubling down on the same behavior.

Polish Janus face on Ukraine is untenable
'We'll help you fight Russia whatever it takes' and 'you can't join the EU' are the epitome of official mixed messaging. Of all the countries in Europe, Poland grapples with deep inconsistencies in its approach to both Russia and to Ukraine. As a result, the pro-Europe coalition government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk is coming under increasing pressure as the duplicity becomes more evident.
As with resentment towards Russia, resentment towards Ukraine is common among ordinary Poles, linked both to the past and the present. In a recent poll, support in Poland for Ukrainian membership of the EU (and of NATO) was low, at 35%, with 42% opposed. An end to the war in Ukraine will certainly accelerate the issue of Ukrainian membership of the European Union, which will be disadvantageous to ordinary Poles.
As I pointed out a year ago for Responsible Statecraft, Poland is by far the largest recipient of European Union subsidies. In the EU’s multi-year financial framework covering its budget plans for 2028-2034, Poland is again set to be the largest beneficiary of EU funds by far, with $144 billion (EURO 123.3 billion).
This funding will be threatened by Ukraine’s membership of the EU, if it joined on equal terms to existing Member States. That is because Ukraine would account for 25% of all agricultural land, soaking up generous subsidies that currently benefit Polish farmers.
Ukraine would also be by far the poorest European country and, with its still large if depleted population, be eligible for the largest share of so-called cohesion funds, which go into improving outdated infrastructure.

20% of German cities plan to shut down gas networks
Germany’s Greens party is no longer in power but the country’s quest for “climate neutrality” continues unabated. To wean Germans off fossil fuels almost 20% of cities plan to shut down their distribution networks for natural gas. This was revealed on October 24 by the public utilities association Verband Kommunaler Unternehmen (VKU).
According to a VKU survey published on October 23, among 609 municipal utility companies 19% of respondents said they would retire their gas networks in the coming years and primarily focus on providing warmth to their customers through district heating and electrical heat pumps.
Another 23% said they would shut down part of the gas network and convert the remaining portion for the use of “green” gases such as hydrogen or biomethane – although these would primarily be used to supply businesses rather than households.
Germany has officially adopted the goal of becoming “climate neutral” by 2045 and cutting net greenhouse gas emissions to zero. Friedrich Merz, Germany’s Chancellor since May, has said on October 21 his government remains committed to the 2045 deadline.

Democrats keep trying to find an ‘alternative’ to Trump
Two recent articles have a couple quotes from prominent Democrat strategists that inadvertently capture the filthy rut the party continues to roll around in. They even use the same word.
In The Hill on Monday, campaign strategists Doug Schoen and Carly Cooperman declared that “the heart of Democrats’ dilemma is an inability to articulate their own path forward” and a failure at “communicating their own credible and attractive alternative” to President Trump’s agenda.
Over in The New York Times one day before, pollster Celinda Lake almost identically said, “The biggest thing the Democrats need to do is not the negative but the positive. We have to offer an alternative.”
Sounds like a plan! So what’s the “alternative” to securing the southern border, cracking down on inner-city crime, and promoting affordable energy production? We’ve seen what the alternative to all of that looks like. It was called the Biden years. Or, if you made less than $250,000 per year, you might have more commonly known it as “Is this hell?”

Amazon plans of automatization lead to 600,000 jobs cut
Amazon is reportedly looking to automate a significant portion of its operations, which could allow the company to avoid hiring over 600,000 U.S. workers by 2033. The leaked internal documents reveal that Amazon aims to automate 75% of its operations, potentially saving $12.6 billion between 2025 and 2027.
The company’s robotics team is reportedly working to replace 160,000 U.S. roles by 2027, saving approximately 30 cents on every item warehoused and delivered. The documents also indicate that Amazon expects to double its product sales over the same period.
In anticipation of backlash, Amazon has reportedly explored ways to soften its public image, including participation in community projects and avoiding the use of terms like “automation” or “AI.” Instead, the company has considered using phrases such as “advanced technology” and “cobot” to describe its robots working alongside humans.
Amazon responded publicly to the leak, claiming the documents were incomplete and do not fully represent its hiring strategy. The company also denied instructing executives to avoid certain terminology when discussing robotics.
Notably, the documents detailing the automation plan appear to be based on projections that Amazon will continue to see significant growth in its consumer base. However, The National Pulse reported in April that UPS announced plans to reduce its workforce by 20,000 jobs this year as part of a cost-reduction strategy related to decreased deliveries from Amazon.

EU tightens control on digital age verification, sparking privacy concerns
The EU is pushing for strict age verification on platforms like Google, Apple, Snapchat and YouTube, requiring users to submit official ID documents via a centralized app. Critics warn this erodes online anonymity and normalizes mass surveillance, linking internet access to government-controlled digital identities.
Major platforms must disclose how they prevent minors from accessing "harmful" content (e.g., vaping, drugs, eating disorders). Snapchat must explain its under-13 ban, while Apple and Google face scrutiny over age-rating systems and safeguards.
EPP (Conservatives) want mandatory ID checks for all users, effectively ending online anonymity. Greens and Left oppose age controls, warning of censorship risks and disproportionate surveillance. A study commissioned for MEPs found age verification "necessary but not feasible in democracies."
The DSA already enforces censorship of "disinformation" with vague definitions, allowing governments to suppress dissent. A "crisis mechanism" grants Brussels emergency powers to impose draconian controls on social media during undefined "threats."
Framed as "child protection," these measures risk normalizing digital ID requirements for all online activity. Critics fear tech giants will comply with backroom censorship deals, turning the DSA into a binding surveillance and speech-control regime by 2026.
