“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.” ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
“Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.” ― George Orwell, 1984
this frence politician has consistently been beaten in elections in part by being labeled 'far right' which is a pejorative we've seen often. now current events has proved her to be correct and this is where she's going as a result;
As chaos and disorder surge through the streets of France, Nationalist politician Marine Le Pen has issued a stirring national address, imploring her compatriots to reject the rising tide of anarchy and violence.
“For several days, a state of endemic disorder, violence, and destruction has been established in the country, the images and echoes of which are chillingly brutal,” Le Pen began her address. She painted a sobering picture of a nation in turmoil, referencing attacks on people and property, assaults on police officers and firefighters, the ransacking of town halls, school fires, and the looting of shops.
Le Pen held no punches in her criticisms of what she termed “politicized politicians or unions,” whom she accused of morally exonerating the criminal acts spiraling the country into chaos. In a pointed message, she stated that these actors “will carry an indelible responsibility before the nation and history,” even as they fall victim to the violence they have fostered.
Turning her attention to the citizens of France, Le Pen issued a stark warning against “anti-republican and extremist forces” that she believes are steering the nation towards chaos and disorder. She lamented the pervasive violence that has now infected municipalities of all sizes and has even reached the heart of Paris.
“I call on all citizens to distrust these anti-republican and extremist forces which, through their indirect calls for secession and their connivance with violence, are leading the country down terrible paths of disorder. This recurrent violence for years is now at unprecedented levels and now affects all types of municipalities, from the smallest to the center of large cities, including the heart of the capital,” Le Pen said in her nation address.............more.........

this is long past due and we can hope ole lindsey gets a larger and more continuous serving of it;
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was booed the moment that he walked on stage at a rally for former President Donald Trump on Saturday until the moment that he walked off several minutes later.
After taking the stage in Pickens, South Carolina, Graham took nearly a minute before he started speaking as he sought to wait out the booing and jeers.
“Just calm down for a second,” Graham said after the booing continued.
Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard tweeted, “Nonstop boos for 4+ minutes now for @LindseyGrahamSC, one of Trump’s top Senate allies who won his 2020 reelect by 10+ points – but isn’t as popular in this very conservative part of SC as some other areas.”

rule of law you might say but for whose benefit can also be said, and even more, to whose detriment;
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) responded to a video showing a U.S. Border Patrol cutting through razor wire reportedly on private property to let illegal aliens into Texas by saying that the individuals were “subject to U.S. immigration laws.”
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared a video on Friday of the incident, which he said occurred on private property, according to officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
“It is a federal responsibility to enforce U.S. immigration laws. U.S. Border Patrol continues to enforce U.S. immigration laws,” CBP said in a statement. “The individuals had already crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico, were on U.S. soil, and are subject to U.S. immigration laws. Individuals who cross unlawfully will be subject to the lawful pathways rule, which places common-sense conditions on asylum eligibility, with certain exceptions. Those who do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States will be removed.”
Melugin said on Friday that the video that he posted came from a source in Eagle Pass and showed “Border Patrol cutting through razor wire placed by the state of TX to allow migrants to enter & be processed after crossing illegally.”...........more........
